History Creator / JoanCusack

Like Creator/RobertDowneyJr., Anthony Michael Hall, and Creator/RandyQuaid, Cusack was a Hollywood actor who was a cast member during ''Series/SaturdayNightLive'''s 11th season in 1985, which was met with such negative reviews and weak ratings that Creator/{{NBC}} threatened to cancel the show (instead, Creator/LorneMichaels just fired her and everyone else[[note]]though Danitra Vance quit because she was sick of being put into stereotypically black female roles, Dan Vitale left because he had drug problems, and Damon Wayans was fired for going off-script in a sketch by playing a police officer who was CampGay[[/note]], except for Creator/JonLovitz, Nora Dunn, Creator/DennisMiller, Al Franken, and A. Whitney Brown). Cusack's only recurring character was Selina, an awkward girl who was in love with a mentally-challenged man named Biff (Jon Lovitz) and her celebrity impressions included Jane Fonda, Brooke Shields (with token male homosexual cast member Terry Sweeney as Brooke's mother, Teri), and Queen Elizabeth. Cusack also appeared on Weekend Update desk as a movie critic in March 1986 to argue that Sydney Pollack's film ''Out of Africa'' wasn't funny, citing ''Film/MidnightCowboy'' as a much more successful comedy. It should also be noted that Cusack's birth date of October 11th is also the day that ''Saturday Night Live'' premiered in 1975 (Cusack was born in 1962, meaning she would have been 13 years old when the show first came on).
